Principal doctrinal approaches to the definition of the “universal acknowledgement” of the international law norms and its value for civil regulation

The author of the article adds to the research of the definition of the “universal acknowledgement” of the international law norms, paying special attention to the fact that the civil scientists study the category insufficiently. The timeliness of the research is explained by the fact that there is no unified approach to solving the issue of which international law norms should be treated as “universally acknowledged”. The attention is given to the correlation of such notions as “common”, “principal” and “universally acknowledged” principles and norms of the international law. Besides, the notions of universally acknowledged “principles” and “norms” of the international law are researched in the context of their unity, contradiction and cooperation. The author comes to the conclusion that the universally acknowledged principles and norms of the international law are fixed in the universal international legal systems, having a universally binding meaning and being the fundamental for the whole system of the international law system
